4. High Patient Satisfaction

Wonderful experience!

Your Woundtech provider has been taking care of my dad and has been compassionate, consistent, and the only healthcare professional who’s come out here who follows through with what she says; she’s always on time and helpful.  This seems to be rare these days and we just wanted to let you know what a great employee you have.

Patient Caregiver

Wonderful experience!

I just wanted to let you know that (patient) looked really good. He was here with all smiles, and his spirit was really inspiring. I had visited him before our NP saw him, and he told me how happy he was with Woundtech. He was so pleased with how your Woundtech provider treated him and how very professional he was in taking care of him. He couldn’t praise your organization enough. Please tell your team thank you for your help and for always being around for me when I need you.

Patient PCP

Wonderful experience!

A patient switched insurance and was afraid to lose her wound care. Our Market Directors and Client Success Managers sprung into action and were able to make sure she could still be treated. The patient’s daughter expressed her sincere thanks, saying, A weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I want to thank you all for your excellent service and care during this time. You have been the best company out of many I have worked with during this process since September, and you far outshine the rest. Please let your bosses know of these kudos!

Patient Caregiver

Wonderful experience!

On Friday, we had a patient we needed care for, and I personally called to see if we could get them in. The Woundtech team went above and beyond to get to the patient and to schedule care. Very communicative and kept me updated along the process. From the Medical Director to the wound care provider, everyone was involved and working towards the same goal. We are so happy to be working with Woundtech!
